dysocjuje

Dysocjuje is a term used in psychology to describe a mental process where there is a disruption in the usually integrated functions of consciousness, memory, identity, emotion, perception, body representation, motor control, and behavior. It is not a single disorder but rather a spectrum of dissociative experiences, ranging from mild and transient to severe and chronic.

Mild dissociative experiences are common and can include daydreaming, highway hypnosis, or feeling detached from oneself during moments of stress. These are generally not considered pathological. More significant dissociations can arise in response to trauma, particularly childhood abuse or severe stress, where they may serve as a coping mechanism.

Dissociative disorders are a group of conditions characterized by significant dissociative symptoms. These include dissociative amnesia, where a person cannot recall important personal information, usually of a traumatic or stressful nature; depersonalization-derealization disorder, involving persistent feelings of detachment from oneself or one's surroundings; and dissociative identity disorder (formerly multiple personality disorder), characterized by the presence of two or more distinct personality states.

The exact causes of dissociative disorders are not fully understood, but they are strongly linked to trauma. Treatment often involves psychotherapy, with a focus on processing traumatic memories, integrating fragmented aspects of the self, and developing healthier coping mechanisms. Medication may be used to manage co-occurring symptoms such as depression or anxiety.
